    GIMP is not the only thing that exists (look at Krita). My point is, sacrifices can be made. Even professionals can do it. The question is, if it gets the job done, if someone wants to learn new things, change habits, change workflow. One could keep an old pc with old applications like Photoshop, if you can’t import your files to other systems and need it for work or is required by professional work.

    Either you make changes, or you will keep being a slave of Adobe and Microsoft forever.

      You mean like, they risk losing their job, reducing their profits significantly during the training period, and then likely there are a few algorithms that don’t exist in Krita, and most are slower with less optimization. If Adobe releases a new killer feature those professionals who transitioned to OSS are fucked, and also they sacrifice a significant of time on additional training for using Linux, replacing their professional NVIDIA GPUs, tweaks wayland, then they spend time on fixing boot problems, their printers don’t work anymore, they have compatibility issues with everything Adobe and MS Office, lose business competitions just because their files can’t be opened by Windows, etc. etc. I’ll trust you Linux-is-easy people after you converted a few Windows / Apple / Adobe-dependent enterprise businesses.

        Adobe never released a killer feature professionals missed out on, that they got fucked. It’s a hallucination of people who spend their entire life under Adobe. Look if you are not willing doing these changes, fine. It’s not my life. So just keep getting fed and keep being a slave.

        And I did not say everyone has to change. If you had read the rest of my reply, then you would know. For people who literally cannot make the switch (which is their own fault, because they are the ones who put them in the position of being a slave), in example for professionals job is in danger of not able to produce the content, they can still keep an alternative PC only for these specific tasks. And they can switch to Linux for all other things, and put the rails for the future.

        The easiest and laziest way is to just keep doing this. Most people aren’t in that situation anyway. Most people just search for reasons not to switch, without realizing it.

        I’ll trust you Linux-is-easy people after you converted a few Windows / Apple / Adobe-dependent enterprise businesses.

        Maybe you should read carefully. Nobody said Linux-is-easy in my reply. But with that attitude you will never be free.
